Does PT-141 make you tan?

It can, as a side effect, not its purpose. PT-141 (bremelanotide) switches on melanocortin receptors, the same receptor family that melanotan 2 targets on purpose for tanning. So some skin darkening could happen as a spillover effect. But PT-141 was developed and approved for sexual desire, not tanning. It is a different compound from melanotan 2, which was built around the tanning effect on purpose.
